Per USA Today’s Josina Anderson, Flores is one of three finalists for the Houston Texans’ head-coaching vacancy. And given current circumstances, Flores is undoubtedly the most notable. At this point, it will be interesting to see if the Texans hire him — and what will happen if they don’t.

Regardless of what you think of Flores’ lawsuit, he is clearly qualified as a candidate. He finished 24-25 in three seasons with the Dolphins, including 9-8 this past season. That may not sound like much, but Miami started 1-7, before winning seven in a row and barely missing the playoffs.

And it’s fairly safe to say the Dolphins weren’t exactly loaded with talent. At least, not on paper.

Along with Flores, former quarterback Josh McCown and Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon are finalists, Anderson reported.

Flores’ lawsuit, filed in Manhattan, named the Dolphins, Denver Broncos and New York Giants and accused them of sham interviews, incentivizing losses and pressure to improperly recruit players,"
